self-love

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Publicity Contact: Keely Bomee Platte May 1, 2014 A Conversation With Howard Falco Author ofTIME IN A BOTTLE: Mastering the Experience of Life 1. In Time in a Bottle you frequently refer to the state or power of I AM. What does “I AM” mean within the context of this new book? Is reading your first book I AM: The Power of Discovering Who You Really Are a requisite for fully understanding Time in a Bottle? Reading my first book I AM is not a requisite for reading Time in a Bottle. They both support and complement each other. While I AM focuses on radical self-awareness, Time in a Bottle is about the process of personal creation.What the power of I AM refers to in the context of the new book is the power within you to determine who you are and then to connect this understanding with how much of an impact it has on your experience of “Time.” 2. What is your primary goal with this book – what do you hope readers take away from it? What I hope readers take away is how much they are in control over the experience of their life. I hope they realize that they hold the true power within them to create both the experience that they have each day and the time it takes to realize their deepest dreams and desires. I hope they come to embrace how limitless they truly are. 3. You provide private coaching for individuals, athletes and teens. How do you feel your advice in Time in a Bottle can be best applied to these separate categories of people? Every experience we want to create starts with an intention. The time it takes to manifest that intention is determined by both the belief system of the individual and the awareness of the individual. Time in a Bottle is deeply committed to helping the reader align both of these critical factors together so they can achieve what they want faster and with less suffering, confusion and potential roadblocks along the way. It is about seeing and believing in more of what is possible for them each day. 4. You encourage us to adjust and broaden our perspective of time in order to “collapse” it so that we may actualize our goals faster than before – to essentially cut a more direct path from point A to point B. How do you define “time”? I see time as the gap between thought and realization, the space between intention and experience, the movement between the experience of creating the dream and the actual realization of the dream. I see time as the journey of never-ending awareness. 5. Oftentimes when met with an obstacle or challenge in life (missing a flight, spilling your coffee, ending a relationship, etc.), people say, “It happened for a reason,” – believing that whatever is meant to happen will happen. What is your reaction to this phrase and do you encourage this belief? I believe that everything that happens in the entire universe is for a specific purpose. There is nothing random as it relates to you the observer. It’s all about raising your awareness in a direct working relationship with your bigger questions, dreams, desires, and intentions. The reason I encourage looking at the world from this perspective is that it reduces resistance, denial and time, and allows the reader to...

Great Relationships are all about mutual value and the aligning of intentions as it relates to what you both desire to experience in life. These key desires and feelings often need to be experienced, he says. When you are feeling what you desire from the person you are in a committed relationship with you are in total harmony with your union. This aids as a great foundation of support when you face the challenges of the rest of the world (work, heath, friends, etc.). When there is a feeling of a lack of mutual value with your significant other, all sorts of cracks can form in your relationship and disharmony and a negative state of mind can be the result. The Following are 7 simple yet powerful expressions that can light up the mind and heart of any spouse or significant other. These don’t need to be daily praises but rather dropped in at the right times. This must be offered from a place of truth and authenticity. If in person it is best to be looking straight into their eyes when you speak. Your significant other will feel instantly uplifted and most importantly you will feel good that you shared a loving, powerful connecting truth! 1. “What can I get you?” – This simple line conveys a real sense of care and concern. Whether you are at the store on your way home, going to the store, caring for them when they are sick, or just getting up from the couch to go to the kitchen, demonstrating that you are not only thinking of yourself but your significant other as well conveys a powerful message to them that they matter to you. 2. “I am grateful you’re in my life.” – This conveys a deep sense of appreciation. It offers how much meaning there is to their presence and decision to be with you on this road of life. It represents the true nature of a partnership and that you are thankful for it. 3. “You are beautiful inside and out.” – This conveys the total acceptance of another. Everyone has their insecurities. When you offer this to another, if even for a moment, it can wash away every one of those insecurities. Putting them at ease and at peace about who they are will be a huge benefit to the experience of the relationship. 4. “Thank you for all that you do.” – This conveys a complete sense of acknowledgment and respect. Whether it is for washing the car, doing the laundry, paying the bills, making dinner, caring for the kids, cleaning the house, working long hours or any of the million other things we each have to do every day. Taking a sincere moment to stop and wholeheartedly say thank you can be a very big positive to any relationship. 5. “You turn me on.” – This conveys to your significant other that they are attractive and sexy. While not necessary for all relationships, intimacy can be a huge connecting and strengthening point. To let your significant other know they are desired emotionally, mentally and sexually by you is a big way to keep any relationship fresh and exciting. Make sure you pick the right moment and never say this with any expectation of immediate further developments. Saying this without need, but simply because you want to let them know how powerful they are, can pay big future relationship dividends. 6. “I am so in love with you.” – This conveys a wonderful sense of connection. This is a different statement than, “I love you.”...

You are a perfect creation here for a perfect purpose and reason. What’s the reason, you ask? The reason is self-expressed by every role you have played your entire life. The reason comes through in every choice and decision you have made and by every interaction with every person you have ever met.

Self-love tends to get a bad rap much of the time for being too self-centered or too self-consuming of a behavior. However, this is a big misunderstanding. The truest type of self-love is not the type that produces narcissism, vanity, selfishness or an egotistical attitude, but rather just the opposite. It is a type of love that liberates you from within to be the best you can be. This type of love frees you beyond your previous limitations. It allows you to have the greatest effect on your world because from a state of total self-love and acceptance you are generating the most effective energy of creativity and love.
